Correction    
    Last week’s Aroostook Republican incorrectly listed the contact number for Scott Curry, for information on the 13 and 14 year-old baseball team.
    The correct number is 498-6324.
    All games will be held during the months of June through August and will primarily be played on the weekends in the form of double headers with the following towns: Houlton,  Millinocket, Katahdin and Lincoln. All home games and practices will be held at the Caribou High School baseball field. This is a great chance for everyone to see some great, competitive baseball played among our surrounding communities.
    If any child who falls into this age group desires to play in this league, please contact Art Selander at 493-0901 or Scott Curry at the above number.         Tryouts for this team will be held in early May, and the deadline to apply is April 27.
